    “The issue before us now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country,” he claimed. “It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.”

    Miller then concluded, “The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.”

    Remember when peacefully protesting outside the homes of judges—a privilege anti-abortion activists have enjoyed for years—up to and after the overturn of Roe v Wade led to immediate bipartisan action to make that illegal?

      I know people make up names for this dude like Pee Wee Himmler and such, but this guy is a threat to democracy world wide. Apparently he’s the one really behind all the boat strikes and the ICE crap. Last article I read has a comment of ‘judicial insurrection’ from him cause they were told they could not deploy troops to Oregon.

      He thinks he’s above the law, I do hope he’s proven wrong but I’m not holding my breath with the state of things.

        Yup, been saying it since the 2025 manifesto came out that Miller and the entirety of the Hermitage Foundation should be included in any criminal proceedings following this regime. They should never be allowed to craft policy again and some should suffer the most for all the misery they have helped to bring about!

        I couldn’t agree more. Miller has become increasingly vocal with his blatant fascist rhetoric and it’s honestly pretty terrifying to see that happening here in America.

          Apparently his mom has disowned him, aka RFK Jr. and the rest of the Kennedy clan…

          It really does, growing up in the 80s/90s I couldn’t even imagine someone as terrible as him in political office in a functioning democracy. Of course it’s evident that the US is no longer a functioning democracy, hopefully they will be again sooner than later

          Yes I also realize they (the US) always had their faults but it wasn’t going full Nazi at least. Think how much Superman would be shamed by knowing he’s from that country. I know it’s fictional but as a character he always does the best he can to help everyone. Today’s US is not where he crash landed, which is a shame because it seemed like the people (if not the government) had better ideals.

          Guess it’s full masks off now.

            Heck, even “Captain America” Steve Rogers. That symbolism meant something. Characters like Superman and Cap used to be icons for America to strive towards and never give up hope and altruism.

            But now the highest positions of power under the stars and stripes have fallen to villains more ridiculously maniacal than Hydra or Lex Luthor.

            We’ve gotta aspire to be like those heroes once again. Outnumbered, bloodied, weary, but we hold the line and say defiantly “I can do this all day!”

      If the left is so well organized and funded, where the fuck are they? What destruction and terrorism are they doing?

      Oh, that’s right, it’s all made up to scare the MAGA crowd into thinking there is a problem and we need military patrolling our cities.

      If any of that was true, this shit would already be over with.

      What about the guys jumping out of helicopters with machine guns kicking down random apartment doors, rounding up children for citizenship and warrant checks? That’s pretty terrifying. Who’s paying those assholes?

        Right now… nobody.

        Gummint’s on shut-down, so all of those “fine paratrooping folks” are working for free… This is why Trump is having a hissy about the government going back to work… NOW!

        The trick is believing it, than you have the upper moral ground for whatever you believe.

          Eh, the trick is just saying it and have your deliberately uneducated voter base believe it because they just believe anything you tell them. Then you don’t have to have any real beliefs or convictions beyond wanting money and power.
